The Devil's Table (Teufelstisch or Salzwooger Teufelstisch) is a mushroom-shaped sandstone rock near Salzwoog in the municipality of Lemberg, Germany. It is in the southern part of the Palatinate Forest, Rhineland-Palatinate.

The rock sits at about 320 meters above sea level on the northwest slope of the Bichtenberg hill. It lies about 5 kilometers southwest of the larger and more famous Devil's Table at Hinterweidenthal.

To the north are the Salzbach meadows and the Landesstraße 486, the road from Lemberg via Salzwoog to Hinterweidentalh. The Devil's Table of Salzwoog is reachable from the Salzwoog valley by a narrow footpath that branches from the Dahn trail and climbs about 80 meters. There is a rest area above the rock with a panoramic view over the Salzbach meadows.

Like its larger cousin, this is a bunter sandstone formation with a “table top” perched diagonally over a massive “pedestal,” created by erosion. In the Dahner Felsenland region, such oddly shaped rocks are common.

The site is a destination on a circular walk in the Palatine Hiking Portal (Wanderportals Pfalz). Coordinates: 49°9′37.69″N 7°42′16.13″E.
